Zeiss V4 Mounting on Tikka T3x

[SteveAndTheCrigBoys]

Just bought a T3x Lite stainless and looking to mount a Zeiss V4 4-16x44 from Redhawk on it. Want to put the Zeiss Ultralight 30mm tube low rings on it, I believe that'll clear based on the Redhawk chart.

Any suggestions on a picatinny rail to use?

It's hard to go wrong with Mountain Tactical rails. Somewhere in one of Form's post there was some mention of rails for Tikka's that the screws didn't want to stay tight because of the way they were made. I'd never be able to find the post but believe one was EGW.

for a 30mm tube and <50mm objective lens on a tikka, in preferential order:

1. sportsmatch t084
2. pic rings on an area 419 rail
3. pic rings on a mountain tactical rail

Any particular reason you want to add an extra rail?

I want to use the zeiss rings.

Never heard of the sportsmatch T084's though. Would be nice to save a chunk of change if those are as good as the reviews say they are.

They are quite nice, also better cheek weld for me than with a rail + rings

Ah yes, duh.

They’re definitely nice, but the using the Sportsmatch ones directly on the integral dovetail is a simpler, stronger and lighter mounting solution than bolting on another rail. The TO84s mentioned by @ResearchinStuff would be ideal in height for a 44 mm scope.

I just mounted up some t084s last night, they are very solid. Just make sure you have a 3mm Allen bit for your torque wrench and follow form's scope mounting procedure.

Hawkins Hybrid lows. The scope will be perfect off the barrel.

 

[SteveAndTheCrigBoys]

Well considering it's a good $200 difference I think I'll give the sportsmatch a go. I'll have to look into separate bubble levels I guess. Anyone have a link to Form's scope mounting procedure? Looks like he posts a lot haha

Now I just have to find the rings for sale somewhere....

Here you go:

Scope mounting to maintain zero

After multiple requests for an explanation of how to mount a scope in order to have the lowest possibility of loss of zero, a discussion of a scope mounting video, and the latest thread about scope bases and action screw coming loose, I took some pics of what I do with a rifle when I get it and...

Tawnado airgun supply in the uk is the best source for sportsmatc rings. With how popular they are on this site I'm surprised @gr8fuldoug or another sponsor hasn't started carrying them.

I don’t understand either. Why aren’t they more available? Buying rings for a centerfire big game rifle from an air gun place just doesn’t feel right.

Sign up for tawnado restock notifications, they're rarely in stock but the notifications rarely go very long before you'll get a set or sets.

I think we make up a relatively small portion of American scope mounters. When I was slinging guns every tom, Richard and Henry wanted a 20 moa rail and heavy duty rings. Also many associate rings that clamp on a dovetail with weavers on 22s or air rifles. I was skeptical at first then I tried them and they are my first choice for tikkas

Well, looks like they're in the UK, and have relatively high positive feedback on eBay, so could be worth a go if they're not in stock with Tawn. Or you could just order direct from Sportsmatch - at least, last I checked.

 

[ResearchinStuff]

I would have no problem buying off that eBay seller.

Dosent bother me, I have them on my tikka and another set waiting for another tikka. They ship really fast from the UK.
